Medical Cannabis: Got Questions? Ask Dr. Chaudhry

If you have been suffering with chronic pain and feel as though there is no end in sight, it may be worth your while to speak with a physician who can explain the benefits of medical cannabis to you. While it may seem as though medical marijuana is the new fad in town, it’s important to know that it’s been around exponentially longer than all the pharmaceuticals that may be filling your medicine cabinet.

There are plenty of myths about cannabis. (No, it doesn’t lead to hard drug use. No, you don’t walk around high all the time.) There are also naysayers at every turn waiting to tell you why you shouldn’t try to relieve your debilitating pain with “pot.”

The truth is, there is a ton of information and everyone you meet will have an opinion. The best option for anyone who is suffering from a condition that causes long-term chronic pain is to talk to a doctor who has the answers to all your questions. Only a licensed physician with knowledge and experience can determine if medical marijuana is right for you.
